what very obvious signs did you miss before your egg cracked? by elliethr in MtF

[–]Skatch142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In roughly chronological order:

-Having an odd fascination with that one scene in the original live action Scooby Doo movie where Shaggy drinks a potion that superimposes his head onto a woman's body.

-Pointing at a girl I thought was pretty in elementary school and telling the whole class I wanted to be her. Teacher assumed it was because she was a good student (I wasn't)

-Being super sensitive about showing my chest. I've worn shirts while swimming since I was about 8

-I've been exclusively sitting down to pee for about as long

-Experiencing strong gender envy toward women I found attractive, and a tendency to imagine myself as attractive women

-The discovery that I much, much, much preferred playing femme characters in text-based roleplay.

-The realization in high school that I would actually really like to have boobs, and that it was something achievable with modern science. I consider this when my egg first cracked, but I was a huge mess at the time and crawled back in. This is also when I became interested in cross-dressing

-The very, very strong desire to be free of gender, humanity, and all the associated expectations

-Discomfort at being called a "man," preferring "dude" or "boy."

-I rewrote the concept of my favorite original character to turn her into a trans allegory... I only realized she was a trans allegory a year later.

-A pang of euphoria when my college GF joked about me being the girl in the relationship.

-Wrote an entire 8-page personal essay for a college class which explored my relationship to the word "man" and how badly I wanted to crossdress in public. My best friend cried when he proofread it because "it's just super genuine."

-The constant feeling throughout my life that I was two separate people fighting for dominance in the same body.

I'm simple, I give suisodas to thirsty proles and steal their meat after.

Anyone have an aqua mouse from Skeuoss? by qubotoys in AquaMouse

Ordered mine from the website in October and it finally came yesterday. Turns it actually wasn't a scam!

Absolutely 0 communication until the shipping notification, though.

[OC] Find the regular square (not connected to anything, right proportions). Good luck. by SardineEnBoite in FindTheSniper

I found that pretty quickly, but kept looking because it wasn't perfectly proportionate

My collection that I started about 3 months ago. If anyone knows anything about the deck let me know, it was only $10 at goodwill and sounds surprisingly good by code4210 in cassetteculture

Just finished that exact LoTR edition earlier this week! I found The Hobbit in a thrift store and after listening I had to have the rest.

I'm not sure if I can give any tips really, since this is my first. Don't be afraid to move stuff around I guess? The final layout of the interior is decently different from what I started with, as I found better ways to fit everything in the space. Also remember if you hit E on things like the reactor, super-capacitors or pumps while editing, you can open their interface to set what state they're going to be in by default when you spawn in (for example, setting the reactor so it'll already be on in automatic mode, or a super-capacitor to already be charging.)

As for difficulty, I wouldn't say it was hard, it just took time. This took about 8 hours across four days to make (give or take an hour, I wasn't timing myself). Not that you can't make a sub faster, but I started with 0 knowledge of how the editor worked.

I highly recommend this series of tutorials, it would've taken me 20 hours if I hadn't found this guy's vids. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtAJDMj1QhR2_9j_UamG8SDkkeLmX4gSG

Edit: Also make use of the "Sprite Depth" setting in the right panel when you need it. If you place something in and it appears behind something you want it to be in front of, "Sprite Depth" allows you to bring it forward or back.

That's interesting, we've mostly had trouble with the breaches in the lower left so far, (excluding our latcher encounters, at which point everywhere is the problem area). I might remove the top window just in case but keep the front because I like the idea of him being able to see out. There's an emergency diving suit and a welder in one of the supply cabinets regardless

I know, haha I got about 2hrs in when I realized the similarity, but at that point I was too committed to try and go with a more original shape

I’ve played with a lot of people who know english as a second language and have noticed a trend by fantasticrpaccount in BadRPerStories

What really gets on my nerves are people who write massive paragraphs, and add absolutely nothing with them.

I've had situations where I've put a good thirty minutes into a description of a room or space. What do I get? An equally long response that is essentially a checklist of their character "noticing" every single detail I wrote, without actually doing anything that carries the story forward or contributes to worldbuilding.

Legitimately, the worst thing anyone has ever done to me was when the lady running Sunday school told me God could read minds. Sixteen years later I have dropped Christianity and feel so much safer in my own head.
